Banco di Roma – Emprunt, by Orth, 1920
An original 1920 Emprunt National (war loan) poster by Orth, issued for the Banco di Roma in Lyon. Created after the First World War, this campaign represented the sixth national loan, intended to raise funds for the reconstruction of France.
The lithograph presents two allegorical women. To the right, Marianne, symbol of the French Republic, holds her shield decorated with the French emblem. Beside her stands a crowned female figure, likely representing Italy or its regional heritage, holding a second shield evocative of Alpine or Savoy symbolism. Behind them, the imagery of builders at work and a farmer plowing evokes both the physical rebuilding of cities and the return to agricultural life. Together, the figures embody Franco-Italian cooperation in the postwar effort.
Printed in the standard 31 × 47 inch format, the poster has been professionally linen-backed and is preserved in excellent A condition, with bright colors and a strong overall presentation.
